At its GPU Technology Conference this week, Nvidia demoed Face Works, a system for compressing and rendering facial animation from high-resolution motion-capture rigs. In this demo, a performance was shot with 156 cameras arranged in a sphere around an actor's head, and the 30 expressions recorded were compressed from 32GB of data to around 300MB. The animation, developed in conjunction with USC's Institute for Creative Technologies, was running in real-time on Nvidia's GeForce Titan video card, natch.
